I read my mail off-line, so maybe I miss something very obvious here, but:

What would it return?
The mouse is by default restricted to the whole screen, the dimensions of
which you know. If you limit it to a specific area... then you're the one
limiting it and you also know the range.
Whatever is returned by get_mouse_mickeys() is limited by the largest
number that will fit in an integer, which in this case can safely by
considered infinite...
So... I personally don't see the use of it. What am I missing?

In light of the above, no.

Because a lot of people (on allegro.cc) never stop complaining that Allegro
is `bloated' and contains `loads of useless stuff' (most of which I
personally use rather often, by the way) :-)
Seriously, I don't see what extra functionality it would add to the
library.
